November 2025

West Ham beat Newcastle 3-1, ending a nine-month home drought and delivering Espírito Santo’s first win, lifting them to 18th. Lucas Paquetá equalized, Sven Botman scored an own goal, and Tomáš Souček sealed it in stoppage time. West Ham sustained pressure after Jacob Murphy’s opener, attacked early crosses, and exploited transition turnovers. VAR reversed a first-half penalty after Malick Thiaw’s touch. Late game management improved, with second-ball wins and compact spacing protecting the lead. Gap to 17th cut to three points.
